We were watching live and the control room went from completely excited to somber in about a one second period. Space is hard.

  Did they have L/S-band telemetry right up until the last seconds?
  • anotheryou 3y ago
    not sure what these bands are but the simulation stopped getting live data quite a few seconds before planned touchdown.
    • walrus01 3y ago
      omnidirectional (or not very strongly directional like an aimed x band parabolic antenna), low data rate in bps and intentionally narrow channel size, used for spacecraft command/control/telemetry somewhere between 1200 MHz and 2000 MHz.

    Are you implying there is some conspiracy here?

      To sibling: Your comment was more "dog-whistling a conspiracy theory Rorschach test" than skillful commentary. I'm not surprised it got flagged, as it lacked any meaningful content or insight. In general, you might want to leave it to others to evaluate the quality of your "commentary".
